The base power of this move doubles with each consecutive hit; however, power is capped at a maximum 160 BP and remains there for any subsequent uses. If this move misses, base power will be reset to 10 BP on the next turn. The user can also select other attacks without resetting this move's power; it will continue to double after each use until it either misses or reaches the 160 BP cap.

The target is forced to use its last attack for the next three turns. The effects of this move will end immediately if the target runs out of PP for the repeated attack. In double battles, a Pokemon who has received an Encore will target a random opponent with single-target attacks.
